Cal freshmen finished 1-2 with a surprising twist in the Queen of the Pool competition Friday in San Luis Obispo, with Celina Li edging Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin for the championship.

Both were swimming in their initial collegiate competition.

Swimmers competed in five 100-yard events — butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and individual medley — with the lowest combined time declared the winner.

Li, from Foothill High, posted a time of 4 minutes, 43.10 seconds, just ahead of Franklin’s 4:43.22. Li won the butterfly, breaststroke and IM events.

Franklin, the darling of the London Olympics, claimed the freestyle in 49.43 seconds.

Cal’s Elizabeth Pelton won the backstroke and was third overall.

Bears freshman Ryan Murphy beat out teammates Josh Prenot and Marcin Tarczynski for the King of the Pool title. Murphy had a time of 4:13.11.

The event featured full teams from Cal and Cal Poly at the Anderson Aquatic Center.
